Memories
by adustyframe ~ April 21st, 2010
I snapped this photo the other day. I stepped into the bathroom and saw the discarded Spider Man slippers and smiled.
Not so long ago, it was cheerios and baby toys. Then it was cars and trucks. Then big boy toys were all over the house.
It won’t be long before all the remains of little boy will disappear from our home. I don’t want to forget how much I’ve enjoyed this little boy time.
So, for once I’m glad he didn’t put his slippers where they belong. I got a chance to think about how quickly he’s growing and a reminder to enjoy every moment.

My grand children moved into our neighborhood 12 years ago
from 4 hour away….my mom had passed away suddenly and
my daughter wanted to be closer to me. She is a school teacher
so I was blessed to provide childcare for them from the time
they were 4months and 2years old untill they were both in
school full time….now they are 12 and 14 !!! They are wonderful
kind, loving children who also love the Lord…..I have wonderful
memories…..but I do miss them climbing into my lap….singing
songs in the car and many…many….other times. Thankfully
my step-son and his wife are expecting their first baby (a boy)
in Aug…..so we will be able to create somemore of those fond
memories…..Thank you Jesus…Pam, South Bend

Good for you – to see those slippers in that way! Yes, they grow up too fast. My oldest son is 23 and married now. My 2nd son is 21 and getting married this fall. My 3rd son is 19 and working fulltime. I had to register my “baby”, my daughter, for school next year, and she is going to be a h.s. junior, to my utter amazement! Where have the years gone? Cherish each and every moment with your son.

I love little reminders like this that there are still children in the home.

What a sweet little reminder of fleeting childhood. It DOES go too fast — cherish every moment!

Thanks for the comment, Lizzie! It’s nice to know someone reads (and cares enough to leave a comment!)
